A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a rich and creamy paprika sauce that enhances the dish's flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right temperature for baking.
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Let the seasoned pork chops sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the pork chops on both sides until browned, but not cooked through.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust to the pork chops.
Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Ensure the pork chops are snug but not overlapping for even cooking.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Cooking the bacon first renders its fat, which adds flavor to the sauce.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Stir in the mushrooms, ketchup, sour cream, and paprika, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Adjust the seasoning of the sauce to taste before pouring it over the pork chops.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the baking dish.
Ensure the sauce covers the pork chops evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake the dish covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Covering the dish initially helps retain moisture, while uncovering allows the sauce to thicken.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with crispy bacon pieces.
Pair with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
